“I presume he had medications at home that could have been used.”
I bet one of them was marijuana and it was Indica. He was probably also on SSRI’s. You can’t treat someone who is banging their head on the walls to “get the crazy out”. We have an entire generation that believes they are too mentally ill to do anything but scroll on their phone all day and smoke Weed.
I guess we’ll see. But another poster posted about an acclaimed actor who banged his head in response to abuse. This man said he didn’t want to live, and when my daughter was suicidal and suffering neurological symptoms after she was poisoned and nothing was making sense, she also tried banging her head before I stopped her. I think it’s a response to pain in the mind.
A person who has never been through trauma or experienced the things that the brain can do to a person could well attribute to drugs what the actual brain is doing.
